Check recently installed apps
It may be the case that an app that you have recently installed needs Bluetooth access and therefore it activates it automatically without you knowing it. Or even an app that you have installed for a long time, after updating, may need to access Bluetooth. Whatever the situation, we can try two possible solutions:
